Itinerary

  1. Starting in the heart of Chinatown, our bike ride explores its frenetic market environment. Winding through narrow alleyways, our senses come alive with the sights, sounds, and smells of a community in motion. We’ll pass by shophouses selling everything from Buddhist amulets to recycled truck engines. Locals worshiping at hidden temples, ritual paper burnings, and the omnipresent spirit house display evidence of a culture centuries in the making.

    Wonderful tour. You get to see many places that you otherwise want get to see. Its authentic and very well organized, with a lot of respect for the local community. I would certainly recommend it.

    An amazing experience! We had the best tour guides: AU, BB, and Bonnie! We saw a lot of different places and even went with the longtail boat. We also had amazing fruit at a floating market and later on we had a delicious dinner!

  • 5Bicycling Bangkok with Bob and Gina

    We enjoyed a lovely ride today with Bob and Gina. Bicycles and helmets were available. We were a party of 4 - our little one is not yet so secure on the bicycle so a childseat was available. We stoppen at the best locations and received lost of information on the locations. Thanks for guiding us through the small streets and slighty lesser known parts of Bangkok. We’ll look for your colleagues in Chiang Mai.

  • 5A very Nice and comfortable tour

    We had a perfect tour today with our family (children 10 and 15 years old). The tour was very interesting and relaxing. Cycling through China town, going by long tail boat to the orther (green) side of the River and cycling through the green outskirts of Bangkok was a very nice experience. We had a very good lunch! Thanks to our georgeous guides, lady Champagne and mister Nine, we had a lovely afternoon, which we will remember for a long time!

About Bangkok

Bangkok is Thailand's exuberant capital, where gilded temples and royal palaces line the river amid street-food stalls, markets and skyscrapers.

The Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, home of the revered Emerald Buddha, glitter on the old royal island of Rattanakosin. Next door, Wat Pho shelters a giant reclining Buddha and a famous school of Thai massage, and across the Chao Phraya River the porcelain-studded spires of Wat Arun glow at sunset.

Top-ranked sights in Bangkok: Temple of the Dawn (Wat Arun), Bangkok Chinatown (Yaowarat), Grand Palace.
